Back

workouts

One thing may be hurting my strength progression:

I’ve been on a calorie deficit most days of last year and this year

Which honestly has worked great for fat loss, I went from 97kg to 81kg

But my strength progress has been very very stagnant

In the best case scenario I’ve been able to add some reps here and there

Legs in particular are not growing even though I squat every week

I think I need to go back to maintenance diet

That means pausing fat loss even though I’m still probably at 20% BF
